A longer but easier loop since I was able to use the trail network, sparse as it is. And while the trails are very indistinct in places, they exist and are easy to follow once you're on them.
Haven't seen much poison ivy until today - it seemed to be everywhere on a couple of legs. Yuck. Full body wash with Technu afterwards - fingers crossed I don't get a rash.

Putting out the first bunch of controls. And I managed to screw it up - got all the flags in the correct spots but put out a wrong epunch at a control early in the loop. When I got to the (very far away) control that needed that epunch I realized my error but there was no way I was going to be able to return and still finish the loop. I opted to put the epunch that should have gone at the early control at the control I was at, so while the flag numbers are correct the numbers on the epunch units don't match the flags. I may have time later in the week to go fix it or maybe not.
It was hot but not ridiculous - maybe low to mid 80s. I drank a liter of water and had another 1/2 liter with me so was able to stay hydrated. But it was the longest loop I've done all spring and I was carrying 18 controls to start so very tired by the end. The key will be how I feel tomorrow. I have two more loops about the same the length and one loop about half as long to get out all the controls. Hopefully a good night's sleep will have me able to repeat tomorrow.

Note
Printing rogaine maps all day; almost done.
Wonder how many more people will register between now and the actual event?
Weather forecast keeps changing.

Moving a couple rogaine controls to hopefully encourage people to make safe creek crossings. It was probably fine the way it was, and it took out a bunch of climb for anyone trying to get them all, but I was worried so I'm glad I moved them.

Streamering the sprint courses. Lots of new trails and missing trees and shrubs. Oh well.
Really exhausted when I finished. I wasn't out all that long, didn't do much climb and took a long rest between the first loop and the loop around the PEEC campus so a bit depressing to be so tired. I'm hoping it was just the heat - over 90 when I started and when I finished. I drained my camelbak which hardly ever happens.
